Listen: Young Fathers – I Heard

With Scottish roots and African heritage, the trio that calls themselves Young Fathers capture the essence of your aching soul and soothe the broken pieces of experiences gone awry into rhythmic submission on the lead single, ‘I Heard’ off their forthcoming release.

With vocals ranging from choral chants to soothing falsettos, serenading beneath a percussion-led beat of the Caribbean persuasion, Young Fathers entraps you with their lyrical tale in a matter of moments. But don’t be fooled by the harmonious purity of the emotive groups’ words, a wind tunnel of distorted effects is whirling quietly below, as Young Fathers’ vocals begin to harmonize.

‘I Heard’ is just the tip of the iceberg, as Young Fathers embark on a European tour supporting Scottish darlings, CHVRCHES, before releasing their second, and what’s sure to be most satisfying body of worldly R&B-inspired beats, Tape Two, wrapped up in bits and pieces of the human spirit in it’s various forms. Be sure to catch them when they hit your city, tour dates below.
